Dear Mr Moffatt

Thank you for your letter to Tony Hall, which was attached to your email to the BBC Trust. I am replying as I work in the Trust Unit that advises and supports the Chairman and Trustees.

I understand from your letter that you would like information relating to the licence fees collected in The Isle of Man and The Channel Islands. You have also requested information on staff and facilities maintained by the BBC in these places.

There is a dedicated team within the BBC that looks after requests made under the Freedom of Information Act. Your email was forwarded to them on 8 October and you can expect a direct response on these matters within 20 working days, as stated by the act.

The Celtic League established in 1961 has branches in the six Celtic Countries. It promotes cooperation between the countries and campaigns on a range of political, cultural and environmental matters. It highlights human rights abuse, military activity and socio-economic issues
